Manufactured by Douglas Aircraft Company Inc, Santa Monica, this C-54 was delivered US Army Air force 14/5/1945 war service serial 44-9126. Utilised for troop and cargo transport until 1971, this C-54 was retired and stored at Davis Montham Airbase in Arizona. In 1995 brought to Australia for Pacific island freight operations, then stored at Archerfield until being donated to HARS in 2008 and flown to Albion Park in December 2009, to be restored to flying condition.
